Dry quarters are essential to the
thrift of young chickens.

Rice Pies.-Four eggs, well beaten,
stirred into quart of milk, two cups
boiled rice, sweeten to taste and flavor.
When boiling rice add little salt.

Onion growers differ widely in the
amount of seed considered necessary.
1t varies from thirty to eighty pounds
to the acre, their general theory being
that the richer the soil the more seeds
may be sustained by it.-NattO7al Viea0.

three-fourths cupful of water; one
fourth teaspoonful of cream tartar.

1t is a remarkable fact that, al
though we have in this country the
best breeds of cattle to be found in any
portion of the globe, yet the majority
of farmers have no system of breeding,
and use cows in the dairy that give
only one-third the quantity of milk
and butter that could be derived from
an animal from well-known milking
and butter breeds.-San Francisco
Chronicle.
There is usually great waste in feed
ing soft corn, by which is included the
nubbins, having more or less sound grain
on them. If thrown to hogs, as is
usually done, the nutriment in the
cob is lost, and there is a good deal of
it where the corn is not fully matured,
If put up in narrow bins, made with
Stats so that air can circulate through
them, they will soon dry out. Cows
will eat them, cobs and all--N. Y.

-Suet Pudding.-One cupful of suet
chopped fine, sprinkle a little flour over
it to prevent it from sticking together;
two and one half cupfuls of flour, one
teaspoonful of baking powder, one cup
full of apples chopped finely, one cup
full of raisins, three eggs, white and
yolks beaten separately, one teaspoon
each of cinnamon and cloves, one-half
cup of molasses. Steam or boil two

In recent analysis of cotton seed
and linseed meals the following was
the result: Cotton seed contained of
water s. 80 per cent, ash 40, protein
45.O3, crude fiber $50, ,carbo-hy-
drates 1920, fats 11.O8; linseed con-
tanned of water 8. 90 per cent. ash 6. 21,
protein 1898, crude fiber 1897, carbo-
hydrates 33.11, fats 9.85. This shows
the cotton seed to be richer in nitro
genous matter, while the linseed con-
tains a larger amount of sugar and
starch.

How the Wood Mice and Common RED
Squirrels Dispose Of Them.

How the Wood Mice and Common Red
Squirrels Dispose Of Them.
What becomes of deer hornsln is often
asked of persons residing in regions
where deer are plentiful, but it is rarely
satisfactorily answered. That the horns
are shed annually there are no good rea-
sons for doubling, for it is well estab-
lished fact; but that the horns are rarely
found is also quite as true, states Mr..
Yoder, in the -A1nericaa AgricuAtsrist.
well remember looking for shed deer
horns, many years ago, in the woods of
Wisconsin, and during one of these ram
bIes, extending over only a few hours, /
saw ffty-seyen very lively deer, some
with very handsome antlers, but failed to
find vestige of an old horn. Upon in
quiring of old hunters, who were supposed
to know all about the habits of deer, / was
Informed that when a buck dropped a
horn he Immediately dug hole in the
ground and buried it out Of sight. Upon
further investigation, however, 1 was IN
able to find person who ever
saw a deer performing the opera
ton, or one who ever found a
horn that had been buried by its owner or
any other similar animal But in late
years I have had several opportunities to
learn where some of the naturally shed
deer horns go, if not all of them. The deer
shed their horns in spring, and they no
sooner fall to the ground than the wood
mice attack them, and they disappear be-
fore the teeth of these little rodents so
quickly that a few weeks are sufficient to
obliterate every vestige of the noblest
pair of antlers. Even the squirrels like to
gnaw the deer horns and fresh bones of
various kinds, and it is this natural or de-
PRAYED taste that makes our common red
squirrels rob birds nests when the young
are nearly full grown; for, so far as
have observed, they devour the feet and
legs of the birds only. have frequently
made them drop the young birds they
were slowly torturing, and have always
found that they were eating the feet and
legs, perhaps because those parts had q
nutty flavor.

BOOKS THAT SELL.
Price and Fancy Binding the Chief EIe
ments of Literary Success.

Price and Fancy Binding the Chief EIe-
ments of Literary Success.
Copyright has great deal more to
do with it than any thing else" said
Broadway bookseller when he was
asked what kind of books he sold the
most of. at is n matter of price, with
the average public, 1 mean. Pirated
English works outsell the books of
American writer's, because there is no
copyright on the English books, and
they are accordingly low priced. A
new American book viii occasionally
sell well for few weeks, but I anu
talking about average sales. Next to
the Bible, Shakespeare and Dickens,
the best selling book is Tennyson' 5
poems. There is no copyright and
they can be gotten out very cheaply.
You can get a first-rate edition of Ten
nysOn for one dollar. After TennysOn
in popularity come Thackeray, Walter
Scott, Milton, Byron and miscellaneous
English poets. The American poets
are slow selling, because they are copy
righted and dear. LongfellOw is still
the best selling American poet, and af-
ter him comes Whittier, Bryant, AL
drich and Bret Harte.
Next to cheapness, gaudy binding
seems to be the principal attraction.
When the two are joined nearly any
sort of book can be made to go. /
remember the experience of publish
er, friend of mine, that proves the
truth of my view. He bought at an
auction sale for a song plates of
Southey's ''Thalaban which once
formed a part of complete set of
plates of SOuthey's works. My friend
issued an edition of "Thalaba, :" which,
YOU know, is a lurid nightmare which
no one understands and no one but
the proof-reader has ever read
through, bound it in an elaborate and
attractive style, and threw it on the
market as a holiday gift book at $3.50.
1t sold like hot cakes. OF course no
one that bought it ever tried to unravel
the deIirious puzzle the book contained,
but it was poetry, it bore the name
of well known author, it was bound
in a style that made it a good center
table ornament, it was cheap-and
| that was enough.
Cooper is the best selling American
novelist. The copyright on his books
expired long ago. The best selling
single work ever written by an Ameri-
can is Uncle Toms Cabin, - which is
still protected by a copyright, and
which still sells, summer and winter,
thirty years after its appearance, as
though it was just out. My! my! but
there has been money made out of
that book. Mrs. Stowe has made more
from it than from all her other works
/ together, and three or four publishers
have got rich from it.
1.-The introduction of the cheap paper
/ editions have revolutionized our bust
ness, and that of the Juvenile book
writer as well. A dozen years ago we
used to sell thousands of sets every
year of books by Oliver Optic, Horatio
Alger, Jr., Elijah Kellogg and others
Now we very rarely have a call for
any thing of the kind. The cheap
paper libraries of detective and hunting
adventures have driven the other and
better books out of the market-the
worse for the growing generation $
morals, I should say. ~ z Com

And on her cheeks the roses red
Spoke Of q dream for that sweet time,
As fair as any poets rhyme
''some day III be his loving bride
And walk the pathway by his side"
.Some day, my boy TO manhood grown,
VIII reap bright honors now unknown;
He'll smooth the pathway that tread"
The dotfnE mother proudly said;
Hell fight life's battles nobly through
And win them all-my boy so truei"
''Some day III wear the crown OF fame,
The wise and great shall speak my name
With praise, and read the glowing thought
My ready pen with truth has wrought
My work shall live when am dead,
The boyish lips with fervor said
''Some day''-alas the years creep by,
The maiden saw her lover die;
The mother sits with broken moan
Each day beside her lone hearthstone;
The youth whose heart was set on fame
Sank meath the blight OF sin ana shame.
Yet weary hearts toll on and saT;
'sThe blessed light win dawn sOn-c dayI'
While closely round the pathway les
The golden wealth OF sunny skies.
Through restless longings oft we miss
Our greatest share OF present bliss,
And only faith in Him above
Can bring as aught OF peace or love.

worried Doc, but he never gave any
sign.
Then came that call for men; that
plueking of the very flower of Southern
chivalry. o, remorseless warl
John Paxton was eighteen, and he
must go to the war and leave his
mother and Lucy to fight the harder
battle at home. The "enrolling Of
ficer," that agent of war whose APP
proach was dreaded so much, he told US
that.
When he left Doc followed him out
to the gate. After a short talk the Of
ficer departed after shaking Doc by the
hand.
"Tve learned somethin'," he said,
with a radiant face, when he came
back. 1.-The enrolling officer says that
John can stay at home if he can get a
substitute. I'm gwine to be his sub
stitute.'
OF course John Paxton did not want
to agree to the proposition. 1t looked
unmanly for him to stay and send a
little fellow like Doc, but the latter
argued: Il amt got nobody to keer
for, an if 1 get hurt nobody'n be the
loser. You've got Mis- Paxton and

went.
Poor little Doe! Friend and play
mate of our childhood. His delicate
form that had been so nourished and
cherished by his doting mother-and
our mother had loved him as one of
her Own-when they brought him home,
wasted with privation and hardship,
and the hectic fever burned on his
cheeks, he looked very much like our
| little old Doc. 1t was springtime again
then. There was a lull in the wild
| tempest of war. Bronzed and bearded

Grams of a hundred battles. There
were so many heroic deeds that the re-

commonplace. They did not like to
talk about it. Our Doc had been every
inch a soldier. He had acquitted him
self nObly. He was going to die, as SO
many stronger men had died, without
a stain on his fair escutcheon. 1t was
Lucy Paxton's hand that plucked the
sweet bouquets which found their way
to his feeble hands. 1t was her mother
who sat with our mother and counted
the pulse beats of our Doc as life was
fading fast away.
One day he reused himself from his
stupor, and with light in his eyes

To Get Bid of Paint-smeII.

% Place a vessel full of lighted
charcoal in the middle of the room, and
throw on it two or three handfuls of
juniper berries, shut the windows, the
chimney and the door close, twenty
four hours afterward the room may be
opened, when it will be found that the
sickly and unwholesOme smell will
have left. The smoke of the juniper
berries possesses this advantage, that
should any thing be left in the room
such as tapestry, etc, it will not be in
any way injured. ~ Plunge a hand
full of hay into a pail of water, and let
it stand in the newly-painted room.
g. Fill three or four tubs with about
eight gallons of water and an ounce of
vitriolic acid and place them in the
newly-painted room near the wainscot.
The water will absorb the effiuvia from
the paint in about three days; but it
should be renewed each day during
that time. ~ United Presbyterian.
